Wedding Cake

My friend (and coworker) Randi got married this weekend, and I had the privilege of making the cake for her and Daryl.  As with everything timing was everything, but I have to say that it pretty much went well with only a few minor hiccups in the preparation.  I got home on Thursday night from St. George, where I had been working since Sunday.  I made raspberry filling, lemon curd and lemon simple syrup.   Friday morning, I was up early preparing the batter, 42 cups in all.  By Friday afternoon, the cakes were baked and I was exhausted.  Not to exhausted to head over Hacienda Colorado for some mahi mahi tacos and a margarita...  The big day came and I was up at 5:30am to get the cakes covered in fondant.    We left the house about 1/2 hour late, but made it just in time to set up the cake and walk down the hall to the ceremony.  It was a beautiful day in Colorado yesterday and perfect to have the wedding outside.  It was a great meal and great fun as well.  Congratulations Randi and Daryl!
